GPR Camp: Replica Racers

I love to ride, and I haven't had a rideable moto in nearly two years thanks to the lamers that ran over my various bikes. I have to get in as much riding as I can now to catch up.

Those recent photos are from J-Bots ride in the East Bay last Sunday. Lots of fun roads. They were a bit wet though, so I actually was riding slower than the mopeds in some places! Hey I just got back on the road—crashing would just take me out again. So I took it mellow, and just had a blast. There was a fair amount of rear wheel sliding around going on. That seems to happen on every J-Bot ride due to weather, and road conditions in the East Bay this time of year.

This weekend I helped a friend with some stuff in Japan town. In the middle of the day on Sunday I took a quick trip to go volunteer with some bike building fro the SFBC. Didn't get a photo there though!

Today GL and I went for a little ride in the Presidio today. It was a good bit of fun to be riding some twisties again. Then we headed off to the Burger Joint where I got a veggie burger, and sweet potato fries.

Got to do a bit of riding today. To think it's December, and yet I can still get in some fun riding action. Also stopped by Ocean Bikes to visit Jeff—let him take the GPR for a spin. He totally hates me now.

This evening held at Piston and Chain, Scoot the local SF electric scooter people hosted a movie preview of Time to Choose.

Visited Treats today where everyone is starting to sport the Samurai hairdo.

Louis was my first friend to get a GPR. When he first saw mine he said "sell it to me!" I told him no, but that I would help him get one. We found him a really nice 2004 Red GPR. It's been sitting for a while because he's been busy getting educated in fancy institutions.

Today we started in on it, but shortly after we did the rain started coming down. We were able to swap out the forks so that I can do a seal replacement. I then snapped off a bunch of photos real quick so that I can do a visual inspection.

I was riding around today, and while stopped at a light to make a left turn a man on the sidewalk shouted "is that a two stroke?"

Installed one of the Shorai's into the Silver Bike today. Figured I'd see how it did under normal conditions.


Then of course I had to go for a test ride.
